Detailed Description

The technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.

In practical applications, a plurality of exposed fixing members (e.g., screws) are disposed on a surface of a housing of an electronic device (e.g., a notebook computer), wherein the exposed fixing members affect the aesthetic appearance of the electronic device; at present, along with the upgrading and upgrading of products, each generation of electronic equipment products have the requirement of reducing bottom screws, but the screws are reduced, the bonding strength of an electronic equipment body can be influenced, the reliability of the whole electronic equipment is influenced, and the user experience is low.

For example, referring to the structural schematic diagram of the notebook computer 10 shown in fig. 1, there are 10 exposed screws 11 at the bottom of the notebook computer 10, which destroy the appearance of the notebook computer and affect the aesthetic property. In addition, referring to the structural schematic diagram of the notebook computer 20 shown in fig. 2, there are only 6 screws 21 at the bottom of the notebook computer 20, and as can be seen from fig. 2, there are no screws at the side 22 of the notebook computer 20 for fixing, although the exposed screws are reduced, the bonding strength is poor, so that the coverage gap (cover step) between the C-plane and the D-plane exceeds the standard, the problem of bounce (bounce) between the C-plane and the D-plane occurs, and the user experience is affected.

In addition, referring to the schematic structural composition diagram of the notebook computer 30 shown in fig. 3(a) and 3(b), the bottom of the notebook computer 30 is provided with 7 screws, of which 4 screws 31 of the first type are exposed on the bottom surface of the notebook computer 30, and the other 3 screws 32 of the second type are covered by the foot pads 33 provided on the bottom surface of the notebook computer 30, so that the degree of combination between the C surface and the D surface is further improved compared with the notebook computer 20. However, in the prior art, as shown in fig. 4, the foot pad 33 is fixed on the back of the notebook computer by the soft rubber hook 44 and the back glue. Thus, with reference to fig. 3 and 4, when the notebook computer is installed, first, 3 hidden screws 32 are required to be locked into the bottom surface of the notebook computer 30, and then, the foot pads 33 are installed; therefore, if the screw 32 is loosened, the rear foot pad 33 needs to be detached first, but the rear foot pad 33 is discarded after detachment; at the same time, the residual glue on the bottom shell needs to be cleaned, and the arrangement causes the problem of after-sales service.

Based on the above problem in the related art, an embodiment of the present invention provides an electronic device, as shown in fig. 5(a) and 5(b), where the electronic device 50 includes: a housing 51, a buffer member 52, and a fixing member 53.

Here, the electronic device mentioned in the embodiments of the present invention includes, but is not limited to, a notebook computer, a personal computer, an industrial computer, a projector, and the like. The electronic device 50 may include a plurality of buffering members 52 and a plurality of fixing members 53.

In the embodiment provided by the present invention, as shown in fig. 5(a), when the buffer member 52 and the housing 51 are at the first relative position, the outer surface of the housing 51 forms a gap for exposing the fixing member 53 fixed on the housing 31;

in addition, as shown in fig. 5(b), when the buffer member 52 and the housing 51 are in the second relative position, the buffer member 52 covers the fixing member 53.

Specifically, the damper 52 is reciprocally movable between the first relative position and the second relative position by an external force.

Therefore, when a user needs to disassemble the electronic equipment, the buffer part can be moved to the first relative position, the gap is exposed, and the fixing part is disassembled; in addition, when the fixing piece needs to be locked into the electronic equipment, the buffer piece can be moved to the first relative position, the gap is exposed, the fixing piece is fixed to the shell of the electronic equipment, and after the fixing piece is installed, the buffer piece is moved to the second relative position to hide the fixing piece. Therefore, the shell of the electronic equipment is not provided with an exposed fixing piece, so that the attractiveness and tidiness of the electronic equipment are ensured; meanwhile, the design of the fixing piece is kept, and the reliability requirement of the electronic equipment is guaranteed.

In order to further optimize the technical solution, the electronic device provided by the utility model may further comprise a return spring; wherein, reset spring's one end is connected with the bolster, and the other end is fixed on the casing.

Here, the return spring serves to restrict the movement of the buffer; specifically, referring to the schematic diagram shown in fig. 6, in fig. 6(a), the return spring 61 is deformed when the buffer 52 moves from the second relative position to the first relative position; and after the external force of the user is removed, as shown in fig. 6(b), the return spring 61 generates a resilient force to pull the buffer member 52 from the first relative position back to the second relative position. That is, the cushion member 52 can be returned from the first relative position to the second relative position by the resilient force generated by the return spring 61.

Therefore, the buffer piece can be automatically restored to the second relative position from the first relative position through the return spring without being manually moved by a user, and the buffer piece is always located at the second relative position to cover the fixing piece under the action of no external force, so that the attractiveness of the electronic equipment is improved.

In order to further optimize the technical solution, the utility model provides an in the electronic equipment 50, can also design the mechanism of fixed bolster 52 for when bolster 52 is located the second relative position, bolster 52 can not take place to remove, exposes its inside hidden mounting 53, so that the user dismantles mounting 53.

In one embodiment, the dampener 53 includes at least one movable paddle;

when the buffering member 52 and the casing 51 are located at the second relative position, the at least one movable pulling piece is fixed to the at least one limiting structure in a clamping manner.

Illustratively, referring to the schematic structural diagram of fig. 7, wherein the buffer structure 52 of fig. 7 includes a movable pick 521; the housing 51 includes a stop structure 511.

Thus, when the buffering member 52 is located at the second relative position, the buffering member 52 is fixed to the limiting structure through the movable pulling piece in a clamping manner, so that the buffering member 52 cannot move randomly and the fixing member 53 hidden inside the buffering member is exposed.

In another embodiment, the buffer 52 includes at least one first magnetic member;

when the buffer member 52 and the housing 51 are located at the second relative position, the at least one first magnetic member and the at least one second magnetic member are fixed in an adsorbing manner.

Thus, when the buffering member 52 is located at the second relative position, the buffering member 52 is attracted together by the magnetic force between the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member, so that the buffering member 52 will not move randomly and the hidden fixing member 53 is exposed.

Therefore, the electronic device provided by the embodiment of the invention comprises a shell; a buffer member disposed on the housing; wherein the buffer moves relative to the housing; the buffer piece is used for buffering impact force aiming at the electronic equipment; when the buffer piece and the shell are in a first relative position, a gap is formed on the outer surface of the shell, and the gap is used for exposing a fixing piece fixed on the shell; when the buffer piece and the shell are located at a second relative position, the buffer piece covers the fixing piece. Therefore, the movable buffer piece can cover and hide the fixing piece, and the exposed fixing piece is not arranged on the shell of the electronic equipment, so that the attractiveness and tidiness of the electronic equipment are ensured; in addition, the movable buffer piece can expose the hidden fixing piece after moving, so that a user can conveniently detach the fixing piece.
